Step away from the keyboard and take one step backwards.

With all this chat about CSL's I am seriously considering buying one, black preferably but not too fussy. Do you PHers stick with the Cup tyres or anybody experimented with another spec. Also how much for the AP break upgrade?
I prefer driving it on Cup tyres, which are great in the rain - just avoid deep puddles. Unfortunately Cups don't wear too well and at £1100 a set they can prove a little too costly if just going from A to B. Best alternative would be Michelin PS2 which are constructed with the same compound as Cup tyres on part of the tyre face. There are no other track spec tyre in the CSLs sizes, so it's either Cups or a high-performance tyre such as the PS2, Pirelli Nero or Goodyear GSD3.
AP Brakes were around £2k for the fronts (including braided hoses for all four wheels). There's no point changing the rear brakes unless you want red calipers in which case aesthetically you would need to change rears to match the fronts. Plenty more info over on BM3W's tuning section.
Think we're off thread, but I have AP's all round.
Front & rear calipers, hoses, fluid & AP grooved front discs. Kept the OE rear discs.
Fitted for just under £2.5k, by Thorney Motorsport, courtesy of a Group buy on BM3W forum. Approx £3.5k list.
Note - you do NOT have to suffer the red calipers, unless you wish to do so. You can get Black calipers, with yellow AP logo. Very subtle unless you're looking carefully - if you do, you're probably a petrolhead anyway and they look the nads.
Back on thread - the video is very interesting. The CSL is lighter and that is clear from the way it pulls away at low speed from the RS4. Also, no-one will EVER change gears in a manual in 8/100ths - dont even bother trying.
I have been to Santa Pod and experienced my CSL vs RS4. CSL quicker pick up once rolling (if you can keep grip), up to about 50mph but the RS4 consistently beat me to 1/4 mile, by about 2/10ths. Monster mid range grunt.
Put em on track with a few bends and the CSL is just better, period.
